Apparently trace level is not handled properly with blobs using
per-component reflective or refractive textures, leading to lockups. Can
someone confirm?

Yeah, it's stalling in hall of mirrors, trace level must not be incremented.

That's how it appears to me indeed. Stepping through the code, it seems
that POV-Ray fails to properly mark the blob object as increasing the
trace level.
The issue can be worked around by assigning a reflective texture to the
blob as a whole, but it's a bug nonetheless. I took the liberty to add
your sample scene to an error report.
